Repubs calling blue wave "movement of hate"

Sept. 8, 2018

President Trump’s budget chief, Mick Mulvaney, expressed confidence to Republican donors on Saturday that the party would overcome a Democratic “movement of hate” in November, but he acknowledged Republicans could lose races where they have nominated candidates who are not seen as “likable” enough, like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

Speaking at a closed-door meeting in New York City alongside Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chairwoman, Mr. Mulvaney insisted that Democrats and the media were exaggerating the political threat facing Republicans this fall: “They want you to think there’s a blue wave when there’s not,” he said, according to an audio recording of his remarks that was obtained by The New York Times from a person at the meeting.

But Mr. Mulvaney, who leads both the Office of Management and Budget and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, conceded that Republicans had nominated poor candidates in places and might struggle to defend a huge number of open House seats where Republican incumbents decided not to run for re-election.

He pointed to the Senate races in Texas and Florida as examples where candidate quality could be decisive.

Mulvaney is an ass. Why are there so many Irish Catholics - who have been so persecuted by the English and even here in the US - turned out to be such right-wing bigots? Mulvaney, Ryan, McConnell, Pence, Kavanaugh, Collins, Reagan, etc...

Hey Mulvaney have you ever heard of a party like yours (right wing neo fascists republicans) committing TREASON and enabling TREASON.........look in the fucking mirror.................do you wonder why the "blue Wave" hates you and your ilk...........really go fuck yourself, last time I checked our party never spoke to spies at a convention from Russia..........and put language in a platform to protect them .....and then have members of your election team go in front of a committee and LIE about it....................
